Leo Varadkar has promised there will be a pension increase in the Budget later this year.
The Taoiseach has fired a very early salvo in the annual budget kite flying contest with the pledge to the elderly that they will be looked after again this October.
It is still nearly 20 weeks until Budget day in the third week of October, but Mr Varadkar has made a pledge in the Dáil that the pensions will be bumped up again.
